We are pleased to announce the recent release of Partnerships and Joint Ventures Precedents,  a vital extension of the Brookers  Precedents collection.

As the author *Gerard DeCourcy says,

“These precedents (Partnerships and Joint Ventures) are in a core commercial area and should be an important addition to a firm’s range of precedents; after all efficiency in law (not to mention profitability) is about being able to produce documents quickly.”

The Partnerships and Joint Ventures Precedents cover entering into a partnership, dissolution of a partnership, expulsion of a partner, election to purchase share of outgoing partner, admission of new partner, assignment and a joint venture agreement.

These documents are designed to assist commercial practitioners, as well as accountants who act as business advisers, in the practice and implementation of partnerships and joint ventures processes and procedures.
